I purchased this book 3 months prior to our travel through Provence and the French Riviera. In addition to the attributes of most of Rick Steves' travel guides such as where to stay, eat, visit etc., this book actually lays down how to make the best of your time through one of the most enthralling places you may visit in Europe. This books actually gives you suggestions on the best way (bus, train, car etc.) to towns, villages, chateaux and wineyards. If you plan of renting (which we thought was the best thing to do), my suggestion is to read and re-read chapters from this book prior to traveling so that you plan your stay, priorities accordingly. You can rest assured that you will have a pleasurable and worry-free trip.

I used this book on a trip to France and found it pretty accurate. Some of the costs for transportation were off, but it was a great reference and it really did hit on the highlights of the area. Unfortunately the pages are like tissue paper- super thin and easy to rip. In the past the pages were thicker but must be trying to be more economical. Now you are unable to highlight the pages which is very helpful in traveling and preparing where to go.
